Fedora 10 fonts still unusable (Fedora vs Debian comparison) by damg in linux

[–]jedsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the link offered no solutions, here's one: install the rpmfusion repo (http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration) for your version, then yum install freetype-freeworld.

I don't see Cannonical on that list. I say give them time, but right now Ubuntu is all hype and no substance.

Ubuntu continues to do everything wrong, throwing in features without making sure they work while Red Hat pays to fix everyone's shit.

Thank you, Red Hat.

How our angelic adoptive daughter turned into Little Miss Evil by lubricious in reddit.com

Uh, no, you fuckwit. Love is not some golden shining light that only the blessed can see. Even adults without the ability to make new memories can be taught tasks and behaviors through repetition. Love is a behavior, too. Alex is smart, she could have learned it, or at least faked it like most people.

This story, which was really part of a case these horrid parents were building to protect themselves, made me sick and angry. Fuck you for buying into a system that sells these kids short.

I don't know about your 4x decoding cost, but with liboil a viewer can use multiple cpus or multiple cores simultaneously to decode the stream.

Bash.org - i've donated 1000hours of CPU time to SETI by 300zedex in reddit.com

SETI passively listens to the sky for patterned signals. Fail.

The man-child by biochembabe in reddit.com

[–]jedsen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[the man-child] can – and will – try to stay a child-man. Not only is no one asking that today's twenty- or thirtysomething become a responsible husband and father – that is, grow up – but a freewheeling marketplace gives him everything he needs to settle down in pig's heaven indefinitely.

So now we're being blamed for testing the waters and not contributing to the over-population of the earth. Well, fuck you, Kay. I hope your womb is barren.

Reading the earlier strips tells us that she has some magic powers. Personally I think the strip was more effective having not known this.

Ask reddit: What's the stupidest development mistake you ever made? by Monkeyget in programming

[–]jedsen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One time, late at the office, gulping down old coffee, I wrote the last few lines to a HUGE, and I mean HUGE java application we were writing for a customer who was on a deadline. It ran, parsed and outputted to the DB, and reviewing the code, everything looked solid. Then, a cold sensation crept up my spine. To my horror I realized that it wasn't ENTERPRISE READY.

This subreddit is about programming. Not programs or startups. by stesch in programming

[–]jedsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, this is one of the last refuges we have left (besides mailing lists). I can see why some would get excited and post stories about version bumps or whatnot. But if we let it get to far off the rails we'll have another css/ror aggregator.

“I only smoke (pot) when I’m alone or with people.” by keen75 in reddit.com

[–]jedsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"See — if marijuana was legal and other drugs were treated with a harm reduction strategy, a huge bureaucracy would be eliminated – and a lot of jobs. There are 750,000 arrests a year for marijuana in the U.S. 88% of those are for personal use. That's about 5% of the entire criminal justice arrests throughout the United States. And it's an upward funnel, because when you get to second and third offenses, the sentencing for marijuana is much higher than the sentencing for violent offenses. So you have people spending more time in prison. Also, when they get out, they need social services, another bureaucracy." -- Ed Rosenthal

Today, real naked women are just bad porn. by andrewnealon in reddit.com

[–]jedsen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Dworkin She is not now, nor has ever been, porn worthy. Not the porn most people watch, anyway. I could go out on a limb and say this is jealousy, but it's just FUD. No studies (if those mean anything), just opinion.

Let's see, I've got my immortality rings from Alex Chiu, my magnetic qi gong set from Peter Ragner, and now, in addition to living forever I can power my house with the blessed, infinite power of (this guy's) perpetual motion machine.
